Highly specific labeling of the Bacillus subtilis chromosome terminus.
By making use of the sporulation process, the terminus region of the Bacillus subtilis chromosome has been labeled with [3H]thymine in a highly specific manner. The result achieved supports the view that B. subtilis spores contain only completed chromosomes.
